Souths History
Souths are arguably the most famous of all rugby league clubs and from the first season of first grade rugby league they have set the standard by which others were measured. A 1908 foundation club, the Rabbitohs have fielded rugby league legend after rugby league legend in their famous cardinal red and myrtle green hoops. EntryID - 480

St George History
After the St George District Rugby League Football Club was formed at a meeting at Rockdale Town Hall in 1908, but failed to develop due to lack of numbers who were willing to sign up, St George made its official entrance into rugby league in 1921. Rugby League's birth in the Illawarra began back in 1910, when meetings at the old Terminus Hotel (Near Wollongong Railway Station) put in place plans to organise the first competitions.

Warriors History
The New Zealand Warriors, formerly Auckland, started life in the NSWRL after much debate about the merits and potential pitfalls of fielding a side from rugby union's heartland, that had to travel, and could potentially turn out a test-strength team each week. In its inaugural year the club sported colours of blue and white (representing Auckland) with green and red (the colours of its major sponsor) and a number of high-profile recruits. EntryID - 486

QRL OUR GOLDEN HISTORY
Following the success of the Centenary Year, the Queensland Rugby League established a History Committee in an effort to harness the considerable wealth of untapped knowledge, documentation and items associated with our great game. The Committee meets regularly and has numerous projects, including the Harry Sunderland Lecture, planned for the year. Each of the Committee members has a specific role to play and currently receives many varied queries from the public. EntryID - 490
